Blakeney Point probably ran better than expected in a higher grade at Haydock last month while Gylo is worth a market check, despite more than a year on the sidelines. Pillar Of Steel may also need this while Hurricane Ali has been racing over further recently, though a win at Haydock in March has worked out well and he was second over track and trip last August. Orchard Grove did nothing wrong on his reappearance at Chepstow but ADDOSH had some decent juvenile form last season and was a bit unlucky making her handicap debut at Cheltenham last time. Parisencore arrives on a hat-trick but Charlie's Glance will need to improve again on his victory at Worcester raised 4lb.
